A Self Portrait and a Tap

Sounds kind of funny, but that's what I drew yesterday. The self portrait was in the car... M'Lady had fallen asleep by the time we got to the store, so I waited with her, while Jacobite and Rebel went inside. Apparently they took a while, but I didn't really notice! Even better- since I was the passenger, I could finish the shading on the way home!

The other picture was our bathroom tap. I know this is another of the EDM challenges, so I drew it. I'd really like to go back later and do another sketch, complete with the controls and the reflections deeply studied!
